IMPROVEMENT EN STEAM RADIATORS Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 2& 1,446,idated'June 4, 1878; application filed May 10, 1878. r

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS W. H. Moss- LEY, of Hyde Park, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Radiators, of which the following is a specification:

The radiator is made of two pieces of corru gated sheet-metal, generally of about No. 22, Birmingham gage. The corrugations are made very deep, so as to give the greatest radiating-surface; as well asto give greater strength to resist the pressure of the steam from within. I place these sheets together, thecorrugations crossing each other, and rivet the two together at a number of the crossings where the apexes of the corrugations touch each other. This is done for the purpose of holding the sheets in contact when the steam enters. Around the edges and ends of these sheets so united I cast a metal rim, letting the ends and edges of the sheets enter Within the trim about half an inch. The method of castin g these rims I purpose making the subject of a separate application for Letters Patent.

In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will proceed to describe the same ,Witll reference to the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective view of aradiator, illustrating the invention, with portions of the rim broken away to expose the interior. Fig. 2 is a vertical section thereof.

1) and E represent two similar plates, of corrugated sheet'ronor-other metal, placed together with their corrugations erossin g or intersecting, and fastened together at some or allof the intersections by rivets F. G is a casing, cast upon the cages of the plates D E in such a manner that 1' e edges of the plates will penetrate the cast metal to the depth 'of half an inch, more or less, and will he firmly secured therein. A represents the pipe for supplying steam from the boiler the admission-ol' steam being controlled by a cook, a. B'is a pipe for letting ofi water of condensation and returning it to the boiler, or dis; charging it through atrap, or in any usual and preferred way- 03 represents a pet-cock, for al lowing the escape of air when the steam is first introduced.

' Bythehereinbefore described modeot'manufacture I produce a radiator without joints, save at the necessary points for the introduction of steam, outlet of water of condensation, and discharge of displaced air.

The large extent'v of heating-surface provid ed by myimprovement enables m'etofurnish an effective radiator two feet square; but the radiator may be madeof any dimensions de sired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A radiator constructed with corrugated plates, with the corrugations intersecting or crossing each other. as described, and an inclosing-rim.

2. A radiator constructed as herein described, with crossed corrugated plates DE inclosed within ariunlG, cast on their edges.
